The Volunteer Connection (Six County RSVP and Volunteer Center) held their annual Recognition Event on September 29th, 2009 at Snow College South in Richfield. Entertainment was provided by Diane Barney and Stacey Snow (Diane's Daughter) and lunch was catered by the Snow College Culinary Arts Department. Over 100 RSVP Volunteers from the Six County Region - Juab, Piute, Wayne, Sanpete, Sevier, and Millard attended the event.

During the past fiscal year 255 volunteers served over 41,120 hours. The purpose of the event is to thank these volunteers for the excellent service they provide to their communities.

Sixty-Two businesses in Sevier, Sanpete, Millard, Piute, Juab, and Wayne Counties expressed their appreciation to the volunteers by contributing goods and services - which made it possible for every volunteer who attended the event to receive a valuable door-prize. Each volunteer received a garden tool set in appreciation for their outstanding service.

90 RSVP volunteers received a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Presidential Service Award for qualifying hours over a 12 month period.
